Today we had another appointment with our OB Dr Bopp for our baby Squiggle. We got to see him/her briefly (we wanted to make sure we didn’t accidentally see the gender, even though it is probably too early to see on the doctors ultrasound) and checked my blood pressure. All is progressing well. Squiggle had a strong heart beat and my blood pressure was perfect. Our next appointment will be after our appointment for the ultrasound.

We plan to find out the gender but it will be kept a surprise for Mummy as we are going to have a gender reveal party with our closest friends and family the following weekend. I don’t know how I’m going to manage a whole extra week not finding out but I’m so excited to have a huge surprise and see if we are expecting a boy or a girl!!!!

We were supposed to see the midwife again today (this is the third appointment we made with her) and yet again she was away sick. This time we are not rescheduling as it is just a formality and she really can’t tell us anything we don’t already know. The hospital has been booked and the paper work done, so all we need to do now is wait.
